Loan sharks who will financially break your knee caps even if you make early payments. To completely free yourself of the the outrageous 30% fees, you have to pay off THE ENTIRE BALANCE. I have been throwing an extra 3-5k monthly payments on my loan thinking that would reduce the fees... NOPE.
We had our first PPP loan through Kabbage and were quite happy, a few hiccups but fine. On the second draw on PPP loan we put in the application and the dashboard said that the application had been submitted with the SBA. It was taking FOREVER but I just assumed that the SBA was taking their sweet time and waited patiently. Then 6 MONTHS later on my dashboard it said that the PPP loan application had been withdrawn "at my request." I called and spent 2 days on hold talking with multiple disoriented phone jockeys that could not give me an answer except that this was happening with a lot of applications and seems to be a software issue. When I finally talked to a manager (add a couple hours to the hold time) she told me that they had never submitted my application to the SBA and that they found that they would have to request some more paperwork from me, which would have required someone to write an email or update my dashboard, but that seemed hard so they just cancelled my application and told me it was "at my request". The manager told me that they would not restart the application even if I provided the required paperwork and told me to apply elsewhere. They just wasted half a year for a struggling business (and it sounds like multiple struggling businesses) attempting to get some much needed relief because after 6 months of my waiting send me an email seemed hard...
Warning! Do not do business with this PREDATORY lender! They are the ONLY company not willing to work with clients during the pandemic! They are removing credit lines and tanking small businesses instead of working with them! Buyer BEWARE! Again, do NOT do business with them!
This started out great for me and my photography business as I had paid 4 of y payments insigned in one day to find out that my account had been suspendex and that it would be reviewed in 60 day. I could not get an explanation as to why it was suspened. This gets me at a bad time as inwas about to expand my business into a franchise with a company and had hoped tomuse the line of credit. I just feel like imshould be able to get a concrete answer as to why my account was suspended.
I had a little hiccup with my LOC and I called a couple of times and spoke to two different representatives before speaking with the RIGHT one who could actually RESOLVE my issue. The first one was extremely short and seemed to be irritated by my questions. He was rude. The second one was more helpful. She helped me understand what the issue was. She was patient but we didn't get it resolved. I called back a third time and Zelenka was not only patient, understanding, and kind but she and I worked together while on the call to get the issue resolved and everything back up and running. I prayed for a representative just like her before I called and I was blessed to be able to get her. Thank you Zelenka so much for taking the time to help resolve my issue INSTANTLY. YOU WERE AMAZING!

The best customer service you could ask for. Customer rep polite and very helpful. I spoke today with Jared who solved my problem and understood my needs.
I called several times for making a payment plan they charge my account all at one time and reactive the auto pay with out informing me, my restaurants was close during the Covid and I have a stay home order until June 8 and they took 4000 out of my account they don't care about your situation they think Covid it's your problem not theirs awful company awful customer service don't work with them I'll close my account ASAP after the Covid and stay of home order finish, they are not human
Great job Kabbage - Hospitals and OEMS will not be able to purchase systems to save lives. We had orders in place to purchase portable X-rays and C Arms for hospitals and OEMS in need due to supply chain issues.
Now I have to break the news to all the major OEMS and Hospitals that Kabbage blindsided us with ZERO explanation.
Not good business for a company that relies on us to support your operation. Have the decency to reach out to your vendors and qualify who truly has the capacity to use the lines responsibly.
We got 15k and in 20 days we had to do a 4k payment. We call to find out why instead of 20 days, it cant be a month. They said cuz of the billing cycle and the guy didnt explain that to us before we took the money...
Then Call to paid a good amount more then what we suppose too and they said that it will go to the end of the loan and we still have to paid the 4k the following month...
There no point of getting a loan for if you had to paid 8k in 50 days. Couldn't even invest it and start making profit. Just paid it as we go and dont use the money at all. Wa as useless..
I have found this company to be extremely helpful and with a rep like Jared who was patient, kind and truly wanting to answer any questions and solve any problems I had.
Awesome Service!
Hi Maria,
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We love Jared!

The process is very straightforward and I received an appropriate line of credit. When I opted to use it, the funds were delivered promptly... the rates are high compared to an interest based loan
After getting the run around with my bank of 25 years, I was told to turn to Kabbage. I did so last year and it was wonderful! Even better, I went back this year and it still is great - CONSISTANCY! Zalenka was tremendous, answered questions and got me to my rep when she was done! CLONE HER
Excellent product - Efficient service and helpful staff members and as a result - I`m a very satisfied customer. Straight forward application process.
Jarred did a wonderful job today. First helping me get my account unlocked and then providing me with the report needed for my accounts for my 2017 tax returns.
I need to some answers as to how kabbage determines the amount to lend. Zelenka was very helpful. She answered each question with patience. I found her to be both pleasant and knowledgeable.
Jared was very helpful and pleasant. The phone connection was a little weak and kept cutting out. Not sure if it was my cell phone or your phone system.
Abby was the representative that handled my issue. I forwarded all applicable documents regarding my issue to her. Within minutes she resolved the issue and relieved my concerns. Abby, you rock!
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review and give Abby some props. She is awesome and so are you!

Kabbage is a great company that help small business to growth even in the bad times so is no better online business lenders in the market better than kabbage
CROOKED NOT HONORABLE COMPANY! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!. LIES, LIES AND LIES. I've contacted company in march of 2019, and told them that if they are going to do hard credit pull before offering me terms I am not interested. The case was closed. 6 month later Hard credit inquiry appeared on my credit, without my consent or knowledge. After contacting them, I was told pretty much that they reserve the rights to pull my credit anytime, and without my consent. I am making complaint to FTC. Stay away from them if you want to avoid headaches and hurt your credit. They are not even a legit lender, and their program sucks!. WORST OF THE WORST! Dishonorable dealings!
I am really sorry about your experience with Kabbage. I am going to send your account a private message as well.
Answer: I definitely would not recommend Kabbage to anyone, but especially to someone starting a new business. The interest and fees will kill your new business before you've even had a chance to get it started. I own a small business (2 employees, $200K in annual sales) that is over 15 years old, and the Kabbage loan I took out for $25K for an expansion nearly bankrupted my business. There are better ways to find funding for a new business - grants are out there for women who want to start a business, you can try your luck at crowdfunding (look at Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Rocket Hub, Crowdrise, Angellist, Quirky, and others), approach local friends or family members who would like to invest in your business (you can use ZimpleMoney, com to keep track of their loan payments). Kabbage is a stupid and dangerous way to start up a business. Only a complete idiot would do that.
Answer: Thanks for your question, John. Kabbage's loans are fundamentally different in structure from a traditional loan. Interest isn't charged on the loan balance, and a customer can pay a loan back early and save on future fees. We encourage you to take a look at our "How it Works" page on our website for help understanding the fee structure. If you have any questions not answered there, you can give us a call at 888-986-8263. Thanks for getting in touch!
Answer: Hi Jessica, you can go on their site and enter the amount you want to "borrow" and Kabbage will give you this information up front before you agree to receiving the cash. I borrowed $21,000 and paid nearly $8,000 in interest and fees. It HURT my business, very much! I strongly encourage you to try other companies or look to local lending networks or a local bank.
Answer: It's based on them having access to your bank account through you online banking. You need to provide your institution and password so they have full access to your account. They are not trustworthy. Do not allow them access to that information.
